The St. Johns River Water Management District has opened the public comment period for the draft 2026 Middle St. Johns River Basin Plan.

The draft plan updates priorities and projects to improve water quality, support ongoing restoration efforts and guide water resource management across the basin. Public input is an important part of the planning process and will help ensure the final plan reflects community needs, local knowledge and regional priorities. The District held a public meeting on July 16 to provide an overview of the draft plan and answer questions from attendees.

The draft plan and an online public comment form are available on the District’s website at sjrwmd.com/documents/plans/#basin.

Public comments will be accepted through Aug. 13, and feedback received during this period will help inform revisions before the plan is finalized.

Residents, community partners and interested parties are encouraged to review the draft and share their input.
